[Verse 1]
C F C
Here they come with their fine machines
C G C
Here they come with their shovels
C F C
Dynamite and the kerosene
C G C
They come to pick through the rubble
F C
They don't dig for coal
Am D7
Baby, they'll strike gold
C Em Am C
They ain't looking for diamonds now
F G C
They come to mine your soul
[Verse 2]
C F C
There ain't anyplace that you can hide
C G C
Once your map is discovered
C F C
And they've been tracking you your whole damn life
C G C
They know you better than a lover
F C
'Cause you're their ivory coast
Am D7
You're the tragic host
C Em Am C
Nobody's looking for diamonds now
F G C
They come to mine your soul

[Verse 3]
N.C
So let’s pour a glass of wine my friend
N.C
Sit and talk about the old times
N.C
The days of freedom seemed to have no end
N.C
Before we lost ‘em to the soul mines
F C
Yeah let’s raise a toast
Am D7
To ten years at most
C Em Am C
Before the dawning of this brave new world
F G C
When they mine our souls
F C
And when you’re dead and cold
Am D7
You’ll still be bought and sold
C Em Am C
You’ll live forever in a great big cloud
F G Am
When they mine your soul
C Em Am
Yeah you’ll last longer than a diamond now
F G F C
When they mine your soul
